How would you mod this 2008 Mexi-Tele?

Other than filing down the edges of the frets which feels like playing a chainsaw, any other mods recommended by the experts of the music board?

I had an identical 1 a while back.
They're pretty good guitars, it shouldn't need a lot.

The MVP bang-for-the-buck MIM Tele upgrade ... if you find the treble icy, pull the modern six-steel-saddles bridge and replace it with a vintage style - and warmer yet still plenty bright sounding - three-brass-barrel bridge. The market's best value performer is a Gotoh replacement that has their intonation-friendly compensated brass barrel saddles.

Before you consider pickup upgrades, make sure the control plate is CTS potentiometers. If not, I am a big fan of Mojotone's vintage taper 250K short shaft pots for Strats and Teles. You will pay a little more for the "MOJO" stamped pots, but they have a sweeter wiper sweep, a tighter spec tolerance, even the turning friction is perfect, not too stiff, not too loose. Available at mojotone.com and via Sweetwater and Musician's Friend.
